EDWARD N. FOOTE, OF NORTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO THE BOSTON CASH REGISTER COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.

CASH REGISTERING AND lNDiCATlNG MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 487,215, dated November 29, 1892.

Application filed June 14, 1892- Serial No. 4 N m -l To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known thatI, EDWARD N.FOOTE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Northampton, in the county of Hampshire and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cash Registering and Indicating Machines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention, relating to the well-known to class of cash registering and indicating machines wherein are series of indicator-tags which are adapted to be raised to view at the top of the register-cabinet by the keys which operate the registers, more particularly pertains to the transparent inclosure at the top of the cabinet, within which the tags may be projected from within the cabinet therebelow and through which such tags may be seen from the front and rear of the machine.

The improved construction is clearly illustrated in the drawings, and will be fully set forth in the following description and pointed out in the claim.

Figure 1 of the drawings is substantiallya cross-sectional view taken at the upper portion of the machine, particularly showing the present improvement. Fig. 2 is a partial front elevation and vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the tag- 0 inclosing transparent top section of the machine-casing.

In the drawings, A represents the cabinet or casing, within which the key-operated registerin g mechanism and indicator-tags are in- 3 5 closed, the walls thereof at the top having the opening a, within or below which the tags 00 are normally located, but through and above which they may be projected in indication of the amount being registered. The end uprights I) of the cabinet are projected above the said opening a and have on their inner sides the inwardly-extended panels at for the engagement and support of the glass section B, which is transversely of inverted U-form and which forms the transparent upper inclosure for the cabinet.

While it is true that cash-register machines have been heretofore usually constructed with panes of glass at front and back of the wooden portions, which have been extended above the normal position of the tags, the provision of the present improved inverted-U-formed glass and the corresponding construction of the top of the cabinet for its accommodation constitute apracticalim prove ment in point of econo- 5 5 my, simplicity, ease of the assemblage of the parts, and the removal of the glass section for cleansing, and the general improved sightliness of the machine, which will be appreciated by both manufacturers and buyers.

I claim- In a cash registering and indicating machine, the combination, with the cabinet having at its top the opening for the projection therethrough of theindicator-tags and having the end walls provided with the inwardlyprojected panels, of the glass section of inverted-trough shape supported at its ends on said panels, substantially as set forth.
